My Config :

Intel G33 MOBO
Intel Q6600 processor
3 X 1 Gb RAM DDR2
Sapphier HD5670 1 Gb
250Gb HDD SATA
80Gb HDD IDE
Corsair CX430W
1 USB Mouse
1 USB Keyboard
1 fan 4inch 12V DC

I want to add one more fan (4inch 12V DC) in the cabinet for proper air circulation.
will my PSU support all this power requirement??

It shouldn't be an issue at all.
I shall give you the details of one of my rigs using a PSU of 400W:
all 80mm fans- front inlet, rear exhaust and side inlet. The front inlet and the rear exhaust are directly from the mobo, while the side inlet is from the PSU. Most of the fans are rated well under 2W.
